Highlights
- Participation in the Technology Developer Accelerator Programme (TDAP) played a pivotal role in OXLiD’s rapid growth, helping them scale from just 4 employees to a 40 strong team across the UK and Australia. The programme supported the development of the team, organisational structure, and enhanced the company’s overall commercial and technological maturity.
- The strong progress made during TDAP was instrumental in OXLiD’s successful acquisition by Gelion, expanding the company’s capabilities and resources to accelerate the commercialisation of their technology.
- The Technology Validation phase of TDAP enabled OXLiD to successfully demonstrate their proof-of-concept for their second major product which will lead to further R&D developments.
- TDAP facilitated the formation of key strategic partnerships and collaborations, enabling OXLiD to establish crucial relationships with suppliers and potential industry partners.
